One place to start, the Juvenile Derby at Shelbrourne Park and Skywalker Logan producing a superb sub 28.00 run. Meanwhile Pudgie Budge clocked the fastest 600 in almost two years.
On the subject of pups, only Magical Tess has been faster around Galway this year that the exciting Hero To Zero.
Elsewhere Droopys Steel bounced back from an unsuccessful Yarmouth Derby attempt with the fastest run in the opening round of the Fair Warrior Sprint. At Waterford, Spoofer was seven spots off the fastest heat win in the unraced stake, but he was giving away three months.
It is proving a very good year for stud dog Confident Rankin, fresh from producing a Derby winner. At the weekend, another of his progeny, Boozed Blue landed the Kilkenny Derby.
